Build life-long vocabulary skills with a semantic approach. Students get in-depth practice with word relationships in six essential skill areas. Each book in this best-selling set has:

• clear, concise directions designed for students with limited language proficiency
• vocabulary taken from graded vocabulary lists familiar to most students

• Attributes – Matching, naming, and sorting activities teach students to use words to describe things in many different ways.
• Categories – Students learn the many ways items can be grouped and that one thing can belong to many different categories.
• Concepts – Students master concepts encountered in school: quantity, degree/intensity, numbers, time/sequence, addition/subtraction, calendar and dates, and space/direction.
